The "T" with the line above it. It was used for JDM Units designating the real builder. I would think the Brother's T-tag would have something indicating Sanyo was the builder or maybe Brother built these for Sanyo? Axel of The Vintage Knob website had a forum at one time, there was pages of information on all the manufacturers and who they also built for. There's a link on this forum hosted on archive.org somewhere, it's a great read.
Well you're just going to have to dredge up all those links so I can read them because I'm still not understanding all this. I know what JDM means. One thing I know about the Brand called Brother, is that they once made typewriters I thought. What is the Axle of the vintage knob website about? Never heard of that.
Brother is/was also huge with computer printers! For anybody else, JDM = Japanese Domestic Market, products only meant for local sale. The Vintage Knob Website is a shell of what it started out being, the owner, Axel, was posting information on killer stereo systems and other great bits of info. Supposedly he was spending a fortune on stereo cut-sheets but ran out of cash. I think he still pops up on audiokarma.org once in a while but the website hasn't been updated in years and the forum is no longer around. The manufacturers list is two parts, so read both! http://www.thevintageknob.org/ https://web.archive.org/web/2014060...knob.org/tvk_talk/viewtopic.php?f=1477&t=2395
Both links do work but they're not cell phone friendly and their website is slow. I really don't know what I'm looking for other than seeing some pictures
